Set Up Your Profile

Setting up your profile is the first step to participating in the
community.

Your user profile provides community members with an easy
way to learn about your skills and interests. Your profile shows up in search
results when community members search for keywords contained in your profile. You
can update your information at any time.

To set up your profile:

Click your avatar in the upper right corner and then click Edit
profile.

Click the Avatar or Photos tab to
change your avatar and to manage your photos. Your avatar and other photos let
people "meet" and recognize you in person. Your avatar lets community members
quickly associate your comments and status updates with a simple visual
cue.

Click the Profile Details tab and fill in as much
profile information as you like. Note that your profile will be found when
people search, so if you have professional roles or interests that would be
useful for others to know about, be sure to include them. You may not be able to
edit certain fields, such as username. Usually the community manager sets up
these fields for you.

Click Privacy to edit your privacy settings. These
control how different types of users see your profile. For more information on
privacy settings, see Securing Your
Profile.
